Narciso Rodriguez Narciso in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

Soft white gardenia opens it, wrapped quickly in a creamy, milky musk. It then dries down to clean, dry woods, with cedar and vetiver giving a calm, slightly sharp edge.

How it wears

The perfume community reports long-lasting wear with moderate projection, so it stays close and calm. Some wearers find the reach a touch stronger.

When to wear it

Wearers pick it for spring and autumn days, and it is tied to the office and daytime.

Who it suits

Suits a woman who prefers elegant, understated scents over loud ones, with a creamy, minimalist feel. The woody edge can read sharp on some, so test it on skin first.
